The politics of the twenty-first century is marked by dissent,
tumult and calls for radical change, whether through food riots,
anti-war protests, anti-government tirades, anti-blasphemy marches,
anti-austerity demonstrations, anti-authoritarian movements and
anti-capitalist occupations. Interestingly, contemporary political
protests are borne of both the Right and Left and are staged in
both the Global North and South. Globally, different instances of
protest have drawn attention to the deep fissures which challenge
the idea of globalisation as a force for peace. Given the diversity
of these protests, it is necessary to examine the particular nature
of grievances, the sort of change which is sought and the extent to
which localised protest can have global implications. The
contributions in this book draw on the theoretical work of Hardt
and Negri, David Graeber and Judith Butler, among others, in order
explore the nature of hegemony, the Occupy movement, the Arab
Spring, the responses of authorities to protest and emotion and
public performance in, and representation of, protest. The book
concludes with David Graeber's reply to reviews of his recent The
Democracy Project: A History, A Crisis, A Movement. This book was
published as a special issue of Global Discourse.
